About the GWM Tank 500

The GWM Tank 500 is a full-size plug-in hybrid 4x4 SUV available in South Africa in a single Ultra Luxury 4WD specification, powered by a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor in a hybrid drivetrain with automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, targeting buyers who want genuine off-road capability with electrified efficiency in a premium-feeling large SUV. It competes with the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and Land Rover Defender 110 in the capable large premium SUV segment at a price point that undercuts both, and benefits from GWMs improving local dealer network and the Tank sub-brands reputation for serious 4x4 hardware. The Tank 500 suits buyers who want maximum specification and capability in a large SUV and are open to a Chinese brand at this price point.

Who is the Tank 500 best for?

  • Large 4x4 SUV buyers who want genuine off-road capability with hybrid efficiency at a price below the Land Rover Defender and Land Cruiser Prado
  • Buyers comparing the Tank 500 against the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and GWM Tank 300 on specification, size, and hybrid technology
  • Eco-conscious 4x4 buyers who want plug-in hybrid efficiency in a capable large SUV without paying European premium prices
  • Buyers who want maximum specification in a large capable SUV and are open to Chinese brands for better value per rand
